Reclaiming Her Heart

Selena was about to agree when she saw another car stop beside her. The window rolled down, revealing Caterlington's face. "Selena?"

"Mr. Walsh?"

The trouble Raymond caused Caterlington last time was significant, but he didn't gain much from it either. After all the effort, he only talked to Selena for a very short time, almost negligible. Caterlington felt pleased, but he was still wrapping up that matter recently. He thought he had mistaken her, but it turned out to be Selena.

Oh, and an annoying Raymond.

He immediately got out of the car, pretending not to see Raymond.

"I heard you're doing business with Lucille?"

"Yes, I've been eyeing a script Lucille has."

"She has more than one good script. There's one she hasn't been willing to sell, which she considers her best work over the years."

Selena was instantly interested, "How do you know?"

"I had some dealings with her before."

He didn't elaborate on what kind of dealings.

"Selena, how about we have a meal together?"

Caterlington had thrown out the bait, coincidentally the same as Raymond's intention.

Both were inviting her to a meal.

Selena was more interested in Caterlington's bait and subconsciously wanted to nod.

Raymond, however, grabbed her wrist.

"Get in my car."

When Selena sat in the back seat, Caterlington quickly got in too. Raymond intended to sit next to her and make Caterlington drive, but Caterlington saw through his plan. He didn't bring John this time, so if all three sat in the back, no one would be driving.

Caterlington propped his head with one hand, looking very pleased, "Thank you for giving me a ride, Mr. Montague."

Raymond's face turned dark, his fists clenched and unclenched before he went to the driver's seat.

"Selena, come sit in the front."

Selena knew his temper. If she didn't do as he said, the car might stay there all afternoon.

She got out and sat in the front passenger seat.

Raymond felt much better, leaning over to fasten her seatbelt.

He caught a faint whiff of her scent, resisting the urge to kiss her.

Caterlington, watching from the back, couldn't help but comment, "Does it take three minutes to fasten a seatbelt? Mr. Montague, if you're not dexterous, let me do it." He directly exposed Raymond's ulterior motive.

Raymond looked up, their eyes meeting in the rearview mirror, sparks flying.

But he said nothing, flooring the gas pedal.

Fifty minutes later, the car stopped at a hotel in the suburbs.

As soon as Caterlington got out, he leaned over and vomited, his face pale.

"Fuck, Raymond, on an eight-lane road, you... ugh, can drive like this. How did you get your license, ugh."

Selena stood aside, feeling a bit sympathetic. Raymond drove as if the car were a worm, not giving Caterlington some time to fasten the seatbelt. Then she only heard the sound of bodies hitting the windows all the way. Caterlington wanted to maintain his composure in front of Selena, but he ended up vomiting uncontrollably as soon as he got out.

Selena, sitting in the front passenger seat, thought it was no wonder Raymond fastened her seatbelt so tightly and even gave her two cushions.

Caterlington was still vomiting, completely disoriented. Let alone discussing business with Selena now, he probably couldn't even read the documents if they were placed in front of him.

Raymond kindly patted his shoulder, "I've asked your assistant to pick you up. Mr. Walsh, if you're not feeling well, you should go back first."

Caterlington was trembling with anger. He had always known Raymond was devious, but he didn't expect him to be this devious.

Caterlington's assistant arrived quickly, almost within three minutes, and took him away.

Raymond turned to Selena, his face instantly full of tenderness, grabbing her hand, "Selena, let's go inside. I've already reserved a spot."

This hotel was a private venue, not open to the public.

Moreover, the route to get here was very complicated, and there was a heavy rainstorm tonight.

Raymond's intentions were obvious.

Selena pretended not to know, following him inside.

It was already autumn, and tonight's rainstorm was the heaviest, with several places issuing rainstorm warnings.

Selena sighed slightly, seeing that Raymond had brought her to a hot spring.

"Last time during the hike, there was a natural hot spring over there that you didn't get to enjoy. Here, you can soak in the hot spring, and after that, dinner will be arranged." The hot spring area was about a few dozen square feet, with clear water and a beautiful surrounding environment, completely empty.

Steam rose slowly, giving the whole space a hazy feel.

Selena glanced at Raymond, who was introducing the changing room, clearly with ulterior motives.noveldrama
